CdSe thin films and nanowires synthesis using pulse electrodeposition technique

CdSe thin films and nanowires were prepared using unipolar current pulse electrodeposition technique. CdSe thin films were prepared on fluorine doped SnO/sub 2/ coated glass plates. The commercially available anodic alumina template having uniform pore size of 200 nm size was used to fabricate CdSe nanowire arrays. The electrodeposition bath consisted of aqueous solution including CdSO/sub 4/, SeO/sub 2/ and pH was adjusted using H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/. The diameter of CdSe nanowires depends on the electrodeposition conditions.
